The Scapegoat by Daphne du Maurier

Set in the French countryside in the 20th century, The Scapegoat is a story of doppelgängers, John and Jean. When the two meet by accident, John had been leading a life as a university professor; his lack of motivation and low self-worth marring all his actions.

But when he wakes up after a night of hanging out with Jean, he realizes that the latter has disappeared with all his belongings, and John is now being mistaken for his look-alike despite him insisting otherwise.
